How to choose a play mat for your baby – at a glance

Size, padding, anti-slip

• Size: Plan so your baby can roll over and reach toys. In small spaces, foldable or roll-up mats are practical.
• Padding: On tiles/laminate, a softer base helps; on carpet, thinner padding is often enough. Make sure the surface is even for lying.
• Anti-slip: On smooth floors, a non-slip underside or a separate anti-slip mat can help.

Materials & labels – what do notes like STANDARD 100 mean?

Textile labels can help you find your way.OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100identifies textiles that have been tested for defined harmful substances; for baby products, Product Class I is relevant. Always check the corresponding information in the product description or on the label, if provided. You can find out more about what the standard means here:OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 – factsheet.

For a low-pollutant home, consumer advice centers recommend, among other things, taking a critical look at heavily treated textiles (e.g., with stain protection or antibacterial finishes), airing rooms regularly, and keeping floors clean where children play. Tips:Avoiding harmful substances in the nursery. When buying toys, neutral quality criteria and reputable labels can also help; information here:Buying toys: safety & materials.

Everyday care & hygiene

• Wash according to the care label before first use (if intended). Regular washing reduces everyday dirt.
• For heavy soiling, clean spot areas and allow to dry completely so no moisture remains in the padding/filling.
• For on the go or outdoors: A surface that wipes clean easily or dries quickly can be a good choice.

Everyday safety – surroundings & supervision

• Choose a flat, clear area with no small parts within reach. Keep hot drinks, cables, and plastic bags away.
• For tummy time, a stable surface that isn’t too soft provides support.
• General guidance on preventing common childhood accidents at home can be found here:Preventing childhood accidents.

Important note:Always use products under adult supervision.
